was in Majorca at the time....when Barnes came on he lit the team...being a hornet is one thing but seeing a watford player make such an impact made me so proud to be a Watford fan....great times.

Just one criticism of the great Bobby Robson was that he did not introduce Barnsey earlier. John Barnes was electric and lean at the time. Maradona literally dragged an average Argentina to the 1986 WC victory. It was a much closer game than Maradona's goals suggests. Contrast with Hodgson who slightly overrelied on talented youngsters and got tactics wrong. Luv the Horns!

Agree entirely, plus Reid was unfit and acted as an escort for the cheating little Argentinian's "wonder goal". Had JB started history would have been rewritten, negative Robson.
"Woy" should have remembered Sir Alf's policy on Beckenbauer in 66! Perhaps we would then have progressed this year. Uornnns
